Construction Update: 611 W 56
Southeast corner from 11th Avenue.
Facade installation is underway at 611 W 56, a 420 foot tall residential tower in Hell’s Kitchen from developers Sumaida + Khurana and LENY. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, the 37-story tower is the architect’s first building in the United States. The facade will be clad with large windows, already installed on most of the tower, and white Perla Bianca limestone, which has started to go up on the southeast corner of the podium.
